This illustration of workplace learning in practice and the value of the Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL) is actually drawn from a Dutch bakery in the Netherlands. The study was originally part of a European EQUAL project (ACORN), but the video mateiail has been re-edited to demonstrate how APL can build on substantive learning achievements generated in the course of workplace activity, particularly as inthis case if there is a major change that highlights the value of what workers know and can do. This case study of a Dutch bakery therefore demonstrates different aspects of the organisation of work before and after the introduction of computerised control of one of the company's bread-making lines and how the company's modernisation strategy also includes recognising the skills, knowledge and experience that workers have developed through work.
